Hone lapping on a glass plate with silicon carbide powder - pictures

[Traskrom]

I am not sure if anyone have ever posted some pictures on how to make hone lapping on a glass plate with silicon carbide powder.



Basically what you will heed is piece of glass 5 mm or 1/4" thick, 300x410 mm or 12x16", masking tape, I am using my son's panting knife and silicon carbide 220, 400, 600, 1200 grit. I've paid something like $6 bucks for powder.



Make border with masking tape to prevent slurry from spilling



Cover that with another layer of masking tape, and stick this to the surface



add a little silicon carbide and water




now, with regular circular motions lap the hone



I found this to be the best, fastest and cheapest way to lap the hone with amazing quality!
